1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Enzymes controlling intracellular second messengers in bacteria, such as c-di-GMP, often affect some but not other targets. How such specificity is achieved is understood only partially. Here, we present a novel mechanism that enables specific c-di-GMP-dependent inhibition of the antifungal antibiotic production. Expression of the biosynthesis operon for Heat-Stable Antifungal Factor, HSAF, in Lysobacter enzymogenes occurs when the transcription activator Clp binds to two upstream sites. At high c-di-GMP levels, Clp binding to the lower-affinity site is compromised, which is sufficient to decrease gene expression. We identified a weak c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase, LchP, that plays a disproportionately high role in HSAF synthesis due to its ability to bind Clp. Further, Clp binding stimulates phosphodiesterase activity of LchP. An observation of a signaling complex formed by a c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase and a c-di-GMP-binding transcription factor lends support to the emerging paradigm that such signaling complexes are common in bacteria, and that bacteria and eukaryotes employ similar solutions to the specificity problem in second messenger-based signaling systems.
